Is it okay to cheat on an exercise?
Is it cheating to use the legs for extra effort in the last few reps or just push from the core (squeezing the stomach), or does it matter? I can
see benefits to both.
Experience both and make the on-the-spot choice according to urge, comfort, aim, ability…
I’m all for a little thrust in an exercise when it’s for the benefit of maximum exertion and muscle engagement and when it’s a natural extension or finessing of the movement. I prefer full range of motion and less isolation.
Thanks for faithfully hanging out… Dave <<< Godspeed>>>
